Correspondence from Owen Hamilton to his brother-in-law Morgan Meyer (Morgan G. Meyer, 1916-2000 (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/43119273/morgan-g.-meyer). Morgan has evidentially sponsored him for membership as a Mason, and he (Owen) thanks him and discusses which address he should put on the application: his home address, or the one at Ft. Sill. He will be leaving Ft. Sill shortly. He says Ft. Sill is quite the place and wishes that Morgan could see it. There's an airport at the base and all the small ""grass-hopper"" planes are there. All planes are grounded on Sunday and there are about all lined up--quite a sight. If the Air Force has this many planes at every base we must have a huge Air Force. Being stationed at Ft. Sill is like being at a resort. He's Section Leader he has a private room and no KP or extra details. It's extremely hot right now--up to 118 degrees in the shade. He doesn't have to do any physical labor and so can tolerate this. All the boys at camp have to crawl under that 18"" machine gun fire for 75 years and say it's hard. He doesn't know if he will have to do that here, but he will have to someplace before he goes across. He's going to Dallas, TX with a buddy who lives there for a fun and cheap time. He's been promised one of those Texas beauties, and he doesn't mean a long-horn steer! It's an opportunity he can not pass up since he's never been there before. As for the girls in OK, most of them are ""Indian squaws, and I'm not that hard up yet."" He was lucky to get in with a girl from CA whose father is a captain, so he has plenty to do in his spare time. ""If you play the right angles you can take these girls out Dutch as they realize the income of a poor soldier.""
